Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 194 192. You are a good person

The early morning in Shanghai is very different from that in Beijing. There are two completely different styles, one in the south and one in the north. The air in the alluring city of Shanghai is filled with moist water vapor, which has a different kind of tenderness.

But when I came to the streets, the gentleness disappeared and turned into a fashionable and foreign style. Different from the tradition of the capital, this place is more refined.

After Chen Li'an dropped Mr. Zhou off at the gate of Shanghai Film Studio, he planned to leave. The result of the audition was already determined yesterday. Mr. Zhou's acting skills are not bad and they fit the role very well. Coupled with Chen Li'an's money offensive , I really can’t think of the reason why Feng Xiaoning would refuse.

"You won't go with me?" Mr. Zhou looked at Chen Li'an nervously.

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "It's not your first time here at Shanghai Film Studio. Just have Ning Jing accompany you. I'm going to meet an old friend. She's going abroad soon."

"Okay, after the audition, go back to the hotel and wait for you." Mr. Zhou took a deep breath, turned around and entered the gate of Shanghai Film Studio.

This audition was different from the previous ones. Mr. Zhou was determined to win. Not to mention that this was the opportunity Chen Li'an found for herself. Even if it was just to have Chen Li'an's love exclusively in the movie, it was worth her efforts. .

There is nothing wrong with having dreams that cannot be realized in life be reflected once in a movie.

After Mr. Zhou entered, Chen Li'an stopped a car and went to the Shanghai Grand Theater.

I haven't seen Teacher Zhou for a long time, so I went to find Teacher Zhou to make up for my lessons. In the past few months, except for dancing with Sophie Marceau a few times, Chen Li'an had not practiced much, so his skills were a bit rusty.

Chen Li'an met Mr. Zhou at the entrance of the Shanghai Grand Theater. The curly hair that Mr. Zhou permed specially for filming was gone and became long and straight black. However, the amorous feelings on his body did not disappear, but added a touch of urban beauty.

Teacher Zhou saw a smile on Chen Li'an's face, but he felt a little unfamiliar. After all, they hadn't seen each other for several months, and they needed a little time or a dance to get familiar with each other again.

In Zhou Jie's own dance practice room next to the Grand Theater, exciting music rang in the room, and Chen Li'an, who put on his training clothes, immediately made a standard starting position.

Zhou Jie immediately joined her, and the two of them danced in harmony with each other in the huge dance studio, following the rhythm of the music.

After the song ended, Zhou Jie leaned against Chen Li'an's chest and looked into his eyes while panting slightly. The previous unfamiliarity had disappeared, as if she had returned to that afternoon last year, and the charming atmosphere lingered between the two.

When the music started playing again, the curtains of the dance practice room suddenly fell, and the closed door made a locking sound.

In the quiet corridor, only the passionate music and inaudible breathing could be heard coming from inside.

At this time in the Shanghai Film Studio, Young Master Zhou had finished his audition. However, Feng Xiaoning, who was sitting opposite him, did not immediately tell Young Master Zhou the answer. He pondered for a moment and said, "You performed very well and are very suitable for this role, but I still I need to think about it and will give you an answer tomorrow."

Mr. Zhou felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but she was very confident in her performance today. She bowed slightly to Feng Xiaoning and said thank you before leaving.

Ning Jing glanced at Feng Xiaoning and knew what he meant. If you don't see a rabbit, don't let go of the eagle, so she followed him out.

"Wait a minute." Ning Jing chased Mr. Zhou behind and said, "Don't be discouraged. Director Feng is very optimistic about you and didn't agree to you immediately because there were still people auditioning in the afternoon."

Mr. Zhou raised his head slightly and looked at Ning Jing and said, "I'm not worried. Even if I'm really not suitable, Li'an will find a way. I just hope that I can win this role through my performance."

Why did she suddenly feel sour? Ning Jing raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but smile. She looked at Mr. Zhou and said, "You do have confidence in him."

"Of course, since he brought me here, he will definitely not let me go home disappointed." Mr. Zhou was inexplicably wary of Ning Jing, and he would always think of Gong Li when he looked at her.

When she was in Suzhou before, she was too careless and allowed Gong Li to take advantage of her. She will definitely not do it this time!

Strict defense is Mr. Zhou’s first rule for filming this time!

Ning Jing felt a little strange. Mr. Zhou seemed to always show off whether Chen Li'an was good to her, intentionally or unintentionally. Was he trying to protect herself?

Thinking of this, Ning Jing felt a little funny. She shook her head slightly and said, "Since you are so confident, I won't comfort you."

Mr. Zhou said politely: "Thank you, I'll leave first."

"OK, bye."

Ning Jing looked at Mr. Zhou's back and felt that she really liked this girl. She was very charming in her bones.

The only bad thing is that I am a little too nervous about Chen Li'an. If I want to have something happen with Chen Li'an, do I have to wait until the Red River Valley?

On the other side, Mr. Zhou returned to the hotel and waited for Chen Li'an all afternoon but still didn't come back, so he called him.

In the dance practice room, the phone rang for a long time before Chen Li'an took out his own phone and connected it.

"Hey what's wrong?"

Listening to Chen Li'an's breathing, Mr. Zhou asked strangely: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just exercised." Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Zhou Jie, who was deliberately causing trouble. He couldn't help but patted her and made a quiet gesture before continuing on the phone: "How was your audition?"

"It's very good. Director Feng told me to inform me tomorrow." Mr. Zhou was lying on the big bed in the hotel, smelling the scent left by Chen Li'an on the pillow and asked: "When will you come back? I miss you so much."

"Hey, cough, cough. I'll go back in a minute." Chen Li'an took the phone and glared at Zhou Jie, who was practicing the butt-shaking dance, and said in a controlled voice: "I won't tell you now. You can wait for me in the hotel."

After speaking quickly, Chen Li'an hung up the phone. Zhou Jie, who had her back to Chen Li'an, turned her head and glanced at him resentfully, then opened her mouth as if to ask Chen Li'an if he could speak now.

Zhou Jie responded with clear slaps, and Chen Li'an beat the beat to indicate that Zhou Jie should continue practicing dance and no longer need to suppress her voice.

Dancing must have a rhythm, otherwise the rhythm will easily go wrong.

When Chen Li'an returned to the hotel in the evening, he was exhausted. Dancing was too exhausting. Teacher Zhou was too strict and performed difficult moves again and again.

He said that he was about to go abroad and would no longer be able to teach Chen Li'an frequently. It would be cruel to have to practice to the point in one go!

However, Teacher Zhou has gone abroad, and no one will teach Chen Li'an how to dance in the future. Although Li Dabai and Chen Zihan can also dance, they are not good enough to teach Chen Li'an.

He still needs to find a more professional teacher. Chen Li'an suddenly thought of Mrs. Chu Yunxiang whom he watched last year. That was a good teacher. He didn't know when he could learn dancing from her.

At the door of the hotel room, when Chen Li'an opened the door and went in, he saw that Mr. Zhou had fallen asleep on the bed because he had waited too long. There was a ball of red rope scattered on the white sheets. Chen Li'an walked over and picked up the rope and pulled it. Only then did he realize that the other end was in Mr. Zhou's hand.

This girl was so impatient. Chen Li'an looked at the sleeping Mr. Zhou, skillfully picked up the rope and began to wrap it around him.

I recently learned a new way to tie knots, and I will try it tonight.

Mr. Zhou woke up after a while. Just when he wanted to move his hands and feet, he found that he couldn't seem to move. When he opened his eyes, it was pitch black.

Ghost on the bed? Have a nightmare?

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Zhou heard a familiar voice and felt slightly relieved. Just when he wanted to open his mouth to speak, he was blocked and couldn't say a word.

"Well"

A thought suddenly arose in Mr. Zhou's dazed consciousness. This nightmare is so exciting. This ghost is so big. Why is he drooling all the time? Will the pillow get wet?

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an saw that Young Master Zhou had had a nightmare last night and had not slept well. He went to the Shanghai Film Studio alone without asking her to get up. When he came back, he could give Young Master Zhou a surprise.

More than two hours later, Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren's advertising companies had one million less in their accounts, but they had received three contracts in exchange.

I hope the movie can sell for a little more money by then, otherwise it will be a big loss.

When Mr. Zhou woke up and saw the contract in front of him, he jumped up from the bed and hugged Chen Li'an and said, "Thank you!"

"Why are you thanking me? Director Feng hired you because he thought your acting skills were good." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Mr. Zhou looked into Chen Li'an's eyes and did not dwell on the reason why he successfully won the contract. He just kept his good intentions in mind.

This man must have spent a lot of money on his role, love him to death!

Although spending money cannot represent the depth of feelings, those who don’t spend money definitely have no feelings. This is an ironclad truth!

After the funds for Red River Valley were secured, the Shanghai Film Studio was also fully mobilized. It took no effort to set up the crew. Within two hours of direct notification, a crew was ready.

Feng Xiaoning looked at the crew in front of him and felt his heart surge. It had been a long time since he had controlled a crew. Looking at the "respect" in everyone's eyes, Feng Xiaoning loved this feeling.

Immediately began to arrange various tasks, and the next day after finalizing the other roles in the movie, he took the people to the southwest, to the roof of the world to see the snow-capped mountains, and to see where suitable for filming.

The crew is preparing and the actors have been gathered. All that's left is to wait for the director's call to go to the snowy mountains to start the official filming.

Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou have returned to the capital. As soon as Mr. Zhou returned to the capital, he went into seclusion to study the script.

Chen Li'an didn't need to study the script, as he was currently enduring the nagging from Beauty Chen.

"Didn't you say you won't invest so much? Why did you suddenly increase the investment by hundreds of thousands, and what happened to the second female lead?" Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an and couldn't help but talk about it, and she was very confident.

Chen Li'an looked at Chen Meiren's question with a hand on her waist, and sat on the sofa and said: "Director Feng's budget is not enough. I don't want this movie to abort, so I pursued the project. I am just recommending the second female lead."

Chen Meiren snorted and said, "Recommendation? Whatever you say, you know exactly what's going on."

"Don't worry about such a trivial matter." Chen Li'an pulled Mei Chen over and asked, "Why do you feel like you've become a little plumper after the Chinese New Year?"

When she heard Chen Li'an's words, a trace of pride flashed in Chen Meiren's eyes, but she concealed it very well and pretended not to care. "Maybe I ate too much. Anyway, I won't be an actor anymore. Just be a little fatter."

"Well, it looks better if it's plumper." Chen Li'an squeezed Meiren Chen's little hand and was about to make a move when Meiren Chen held it down. As if she suddenly remembered something, she said to Chen Li'an: "I forgot to pack my things. Tomorrow We’re about to go to Wanwan, I’ll pack my things first!”

Chen Li'an didn't think much about it. Beauty Chen did look a bit like a strong woman now, with a strong sense of professionalism, so she nodded and said, "Then you go and take care of it."

Seeing that Chen Li'an was not overly concerned, Chen Meiren breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to him for a few more words before entering the bedroom to pack her things.

After entering the bedroom, Beauty Chen patted her chest. She was especially glad that Chen Li'an was going to film a movie soon, otherwise she would be exposed. She couldn't show off her cards until she was completely stable!

Feng Xiaoning moved very quickly. It should be said that the Shanghai Film Studio moved very quickly. Mr. Zhou didn't wait long before he received the notice to go to the Yellow River to start construction. Chen Li'an and Ning Jing had to wait for a while longer.

At Young Master Zhou's house, Chen Li'an looked at the things that Young Master Zhou was loading into the box and couldn't help but said, "You don't need to bring these things when you go filming, right?"

"Then do you want to use it?" Mr. Zhou put a bulging black storage bag into the box, looked back at Chen Li'an and said, "I won't take it with you if you don't want it. Snow mountains and grasslands are very exciting just thinking about it."

Chen Li'an: "." It's really exciting.

"Then you'd better take it with you." Chen Li'an touched his nose and said.

Mr. Zhou snorted and said, "I don't know you yet, you are a duplicitous man!"

"Have you bought the ticket? What time does the train leave?" Chen Li'an asked, changing the subject.

"I'm going to drive there without buying a ticket. I like the feeling of freedom when driving!" Mr. Zhou said while packing his things.

Chen Li'an frowned and said, "It's hard for you to drive so far by yourself."

Mr. Zhou said nonchalantly: "It's okay. It's been a few days. I'll drive slowly and treat it as a trip."

"As long as you are happy with it." Chen Li'an looked at Mr. Zhou who was very interested and did not displease her.

After sending Mr. Zhou away, Chen Li'an went to school and listened to Li Keji's nagging. He also got a note of leave and also played with Chen Zihan for several days.

Chen Li'an waited in the capital for less than two weeks when a notice from Feng Xiaoning came, asking Chen Li'an to go directly to the snowy mountains in the southwest.

In the studio, Chen Li'an put down the brush in his hand, looked at Li Dabai who was dozing, shook her awake and asked, "Did you recruit the person you hired last time?"

Li Dabai rubbed his eyes and said, "We've hired him, and he can go to work tomorrow."

Chen Li'an stood in front of the washstand, washing his hands in the basin with peonies printed on it, and asked without looking back: "I will join the set for filming the day after tomorrow, do you want to go?"

"Go!" Li Dabai immediately became energetic and said excitedly: "I haven't seen the snow-capped mountains yet!"

Chen Li'an pulled off the towel on the shelf and wiped his hands and asked, "The conditions there are very poor, are you sure?"

"Sure! You can work and travel, why not go!" Li Dabai smirked and said, "And Ji Fa told me that there will be subsidies for business trips."

Chen Li'an: "." He couldn't tell for a moment whether Li Dabai was doing it for the subsidy or for traveling. Anyway, it had nothing to do with work.

Grassland, snow-capped mountains, and temples, when combined together, these words give people a sense of vastness and purity, but this literal feeling is very empty.

When Chen Li'an actually saw those scenes, he truly understood the feeling. At this moment, Chen Li'an felt that his body and mind had been cleansed.

Chen Li'an stood under the snow-capped mountains and opened his arms, wanting to feel the pure and unpolluted nature's fresh air. After taking a deep breath, he was immediately choked by the cold air from the snow-capped mountains.

The tour guide in front immediately turned around and ran over, telling Chen Li'an to cover his mouth and stop coughing.

Chen Li'an also reacted and immediately covered his mouth to suppress his cough. His face was red and he was staring at the snow-capped mountains.

After enduring it for a while, Chen Li'an finally stopped coughing, looked at the tour guide and subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Will it really cause an avalanche?"

The tour guide wearing a sheepskin jacket laughed loudly and said: "No, the snow-capped mountains are not that fragile."

"Then you..." Chen Li'an came to his senses and couldn't help but raise his fist and hit the tour guide Duoji and said, "You deliberately scared me, right?"

Duoji laughed and said, "Although I'm trying to scare you, the snowy mountains are about to melt this season, so it's still very dangerous. You must be careful."

Chen Li'an looked at the grass with green buds at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and nodded. No matter what, he still had to pay attention to safety.

The foreign actor Jones who was traveling with Chen Li'an also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He spoke good Chinese and could understand the conversation between Chen Li'an and Duoji. He was also shocked at first.

Chen Li'an turned to look at him and said, "Jones, let's get Duoji drunk together tonight!"

"Okay, but are you sure we can get him drunk?" Jones asked with a smile.

Chen Li'an looked at the wine bag hanging on Duoji's waist and said, "How will you know if you don't try it!"

Duoji laughed loudly and said, "Come on, I'll take care of the wine!"

The scene at the foot of the snow-capped mountains was not difficult because there were no avalanches, so what else would it be difficult to do? However, we had to wait for another day before the official filming.

Although the avalanche will not be filmed in real life, blowing up the snow-capped mountains, Feng Xiaoning does not intend to remove this scene, and is studying special photography with photography and props.

It is actually very difficult to use special photography to capture the magnificence of an avalanche. It comes from the power of nature. Without the blessing of digital special effects, it is simply too difficult to capture it.

The prop team has temporarily built several rockeries two people high and is piling snow on them layer by layer.

Feng Xiaoning smoked a cigarette and looked at the rockery, then turned to look at the real snow-capped mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's obviously something that can be done with just one explosive, but now it's so troublesome. There are so many snow-capped mountains here, it doesn't hurt to blow up a few.

In a jeep, Chen Li'an and Duoji sat at the front of the car, drinking and chatting while looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Duoji took a sip of wine and said: "Every snow mountain here has been baptized by tens of thousands of years. This is a gift from God to our people."

Chen Li'an nodded and looked at the majestic snow-capped mountains. He really couldn't understand why Feng Xiaoning wanted to blow it up. What a beautiful landscape. The miraculous craftsmanship of nature is nothing more than that.

Duoji glanced at the fake snow mountain, turned to Chen Li'an and said, "Thank you, my friend. I heard that you stopped them from blowing up the snow mountain. You are a good person."

"Good man." Chen Li'an muttered these two words, and for a moment his thoughts drifted into the distance along the majestic snow-capped mountains.
